Have you packed yet?

Following on the MBTI theme, the fourth dimension looks at how we take action.

• Was your packing planned weeks ago, with lots of lists and putting things in the spare room 'ready'?

        OR

• Will you leave it to the last minute and maybe even buy at the airport, saying "I'll see what's there"?

Those with a JUDGING preference like to live life in scheduled and orderly ways.  They like to make plans and stick to them, taking great satisfaction in getting things done.

A PERCEIVING preference likes to keep open to new experiences and information.  Living life in a flexible, spontaneous way, going with the flow and taking advantage of last minute options as they arise.  They feel constrained by plans and structures.

Problems in the workplace may occur when completing a project.  Perceiving types often start tasks at the last minute whilst Judging types are focused on the deadline and plan their work, they find it difficult to trust that the Perceiving types will finish in time.

How do you like to organise a project?  What conflicts have you encountered on the way?

I would love to hear from you.
